The Austin Spurs’ 2025-26 season extended the franchise’s resurgence, as Austin finished 23-13 in the regular season and ranked among the NBA G League’s best defensive teams. The Spurs allowed a league-low 108.9 points per game and posted the top defensive rating in the league, winning with discipline and consistency rather than overwhelming offensive production.

A balanced roster drove that success. Harrison Ingram remained a central figure after his strong previous campaign, while Jamaree Bouyea, David Jones-Garcia, Riley Minix, and Micah Potter were among the club’s most productive contributors. Austin carried its momentum into the postseason but saw its run end in the opening round with a loss to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. Although the year did not culminate in a championship, the 2025-26 season reinforced Austin’s identity as a defense-first contender and continued the organization’s recent return to prominence within the G League.

HeatingUp Impact Index: Tip-Off Tournament Team Impact Spotlight

PLAYER NAME ROLE TIER MPG USAGE TIER PPG RPG APG STK IMPACT INDEX NOTES AWARDS
David Jones Primary Scoring Wing (1.1) 32.8 High [1.2] 27.4 7.2 3.0 2.4 105.6 A high-usage scoring wing, Jones-Garcia entered the season with his reputation rising after a summer in which independent Spurs coverage described him as a versatile wing/guard who could score on or off the ball while defending multiple positions. That combination of self-created offense and secondary playmaking carried into his early Austin run, where the offensive load was clearly his to shoulder. Pounding the Rock Rising Stars (2026)
Jamaree Bouyea Lead Pick-and-Roll Creator (1.1) 34.0 High [1.2] 20.0 5.5 4.5 2.5 85.8 Bouyea operated as a full-time lead guard, controlling possessions rather than simply spotting up. His four-game Austin stint was followed immediately by a Phoenix two-way opportunity, with reporting highlighting the scoring, rebounding and playmaking production that made him one of the G League’s more established backcourt creators. NBA G League call-up report None identified
Harrison Ingram Point-Forward Rebound Creator (1.1) 32.3 Medium [1.1] 16.3 11.1 3.5 2.0 79.6 Ingram’s role was much broader than that of a conventional scoring forward: Austin had already used him as a connector who could rebound, pass and initiate offense, and his previous G League run included a triple-double. His 2025-26 profile continued that all-around responsibility, with his rebounding and passing giving the lineup a secondary hub. Rumble in the Garden None identified
Stanley Umude Two-Way Slashing Wing (1.1) 35.2 High [1.2] 19.1 5.7 1.6 2.2 75.5 Umude functioned as a physical scoring wing who could attack the rim while still providing defensive activity. Contemporary San Antonio reporting specifically emphasized his athleticism, defensive ability and competitive mentality, traits that fit the unusually heavy 35-minute workload he received in Austin. San Antonio Express-News G League Showcase Tournament Second Team (2025)
Kyle Mangas Primary Perimeter Organizer (1.1) 35.8 High [1.2] 18.2 3.0 5.2 2.1 75.2 Mangas was more than a spot-up shooter; Austin leaned on him to organize possessions and create advantages from the perimeter. His previous G League work had already established him as a high-minute offensive contributor, and his move from Indiana to Austin came with a reputation for sustained scoring production and secondary playmaking. Hoops Rumors None identified
Jayden Nunn Microwave Shot Creator (1.1) 32.1 High [1.2] 19.7 3.3 2.4 1.9 72.1 Nunn’s role was built around aggressive shot creation, especially attacking space off the bounce and firing confidently from three. Reporting on his Austin development described him as a dynamic shooter and driver who had already shown a willingness to take big shots in important moments, which helps explain the large offensive responsibility in this sample. Sports Illustrated None identified
Micah Potter Stretch Five Scoring Hub (1.05) 32.3 Medium [1.1] 15.7 9.5 2.0 2.8 69.3 Potter brought a modern stretch-big profile to Austin: a physical rebounder who could pull opposing centers away from the paint. Wisconsin-focused reporting noted that his perimeter skill had helped extend his professional career, while his Austin role combined floor spacing with interior rebounding and shot-blocking responsibilities. Wisconsin Badgers On SI None identified
Riley Minix Starting Two-Way Scoring Forward (1.05) 33.2 Medium [1.1] 15.7 6.3 3.2 1.2 61.0 Minix played as a versatile scoring forward rather than a stationary stretch four, with his value coming from shooting, rebounding and the ability to make plays without dominating the ball. Contemporary coverage also highlighted his persistence after an earlier shoulder injury and his willingness to embrace the demanding back-and-forth of a two-way role.

Trey McGowens Secondary Scoring Guard (1.05) 22.2 Medium [1.1] 12.0 2.4 2.6 1.5 42.7 McGowens served as a secondary offensive option who could handle the ball, attack gaps and make the extra pass without needing to dominate possessions. His December performances showed the upside of that role, including a 21-point outing with five assists against Texas and a 19-point game against Mexico City. None identified; limited independent season coverage available
Bryce Thompson Perimeter Attack Reserve (1.0) 27.0 Low [1.0] 11.0 1.0 0.0 2.0 28.0 Thompson’s brief Austin sample points to a reserve scoring role rather than a primary creation assignment. Independent season-specific reporting on his short Austin stint is limited, so the clearest contextual takeaway is that he was being used as a perimeter attacking option while the established Austin creators carried most of the playmaking burden. None identified; limited independent season coverage available
Osayi Osifo Energy Forward and Rim Attacker (1.05) 23.5 Low [1.0] 7.0 4.0 0.8 1.2 27.3 Osifo’s game has long been associated with energy plays rather than high-volume scoring: attacking the glass, running the floor and creating defensive disruption. Summer League reporting described him as an energetic big who could put the ball on the floor and make life difficult defensively, a style that translated naturally into Austin’s interior rotation. Sports Illustrated None identified
Jamal Bieniemy Defensive Utility Guard (1.0) 17.0 Low [1.0] 8.0 3.0 1.0 1.0 26.0 Bieniemy occupied a low-usage guard role centered on keeping the offense moving and supplying defensive pressure rather than creating a large share of shots. Contemporary reporting later described him as a player moving through the G League player pool, reflecting the developmental and fluid nature of his 2025-26 assignment. None identified; limited independent season coverage available
James Banks III Reserve Rim Protector (1.05) 15.1 Low [1.0] 4.2 4.1 0.5 1.5 21.6 Banks was deployed primarily as interior depth, with his value tied to rim protection, rebounding and physical screening rather than offensive volume. His established reputation as a defensive-minded big preceded this Austin stint, making the low-usage reserve role consistent with how he has generally been utilized professionally. None identified
Kobe Stewart Defensive Development Wing (1.0) 16.3 Low [1.0] 3.9 2.8 1.2 1.3 18.4 Stewart was a developmental wing working in a reserve role, with his offensive responsibilities secondary to spacing, ball movement and defensive activity. His Austin stint came after he had been used as a major offensive option at Presbyterian, making the transition to a lower-usage professional role an important part of his adjustment. Presbyterian basketball coverage None identified
Pierre Crockrell II Table-Setting Point Guard (1.0) 15.0 Low [1.0] 1.3 3.0 2.0 1.7 16.0 Crockrell entered Austin as a developmental point guard whose clearest function was organizing possessions and getting teammates into actions rather than hunting his own shot. His selection in the 2025 G League Draft reflected that role, and the early sample shows a pass-first guard contributing more through ball control and defensive activity than scoring.

David Jones Primary Scoring Wing (1.1) 32.7 High [1.2] 25.5 6.5 3.6 2.9 101.64 A downhill scoring wing, Jones-Garcia was already viewed as one of Austin’s main offensive weapons after a standout Summer League that earned him a two-way contract.

Harrison Ingram Point-Forward Rebound Creator (1.1) 34.6 High [1.2] 16.8 12.4 4.8 1.8 94.51 A point-forward style gives Ingram unusual lineup value: he can initiate offense while functioning as a dominant defensive rebounder. San Antonio coverage noted that he spent most of the previous season in Austin, and his expanded two-way role reflected the organization’s continued investment in his all-around game. San Antonio Express-News None identified
Kyle Mangas Perimeter Offensive Organizer (1.1) 31.3 High [1.2] 16.8 4.2 2.1 1.8 65.74 Mangas played as a perimeter organizer with enough shooting gravity to keep defenses stretched. His earlier G League run had already established him as a high-minute scorer and playmaker, and his move to Austin followed a season in which he was selected for the G League Up Next Game.

Donovan Williams Scoring Forward Creator (1.05) 29.9 Medium [1.1] 19.2 5.3 1.1 1.6 62.83 Williams functioned as a scoring forward who could carry possessions without needing a traditional point-guard role.

Stanley Umude High-Volume Two-Way Wing (1.05) 32.1 High [1.2] 16.3 4.1 1.4 1.8 59.47 Umude’s role centered on difficult wing scoring and defensive activity, with the freedom to fire from deep rather than operating as a low-usage spacer. His eventual two-way promotion came after a stretch in which he was carrying a major offensive workload for Austin, including a 34-point showcase performance. The NBA G League NBA Cup Champion (2025)
Micah Potter Stretch Five Rebound Hub (1.05) 31.0 Medium [1.1] 15.0 11.0 0.0 2.0 58.80 Potter supplied the classic stretch-five combination of perimeter spacing and interior rebounding. His professional track record had already shown that he could be a high-volume frontcourt scorer while stretching defenses beyond the paint, and Austin used him as a substantial offensive and rebounding presence. The Sporting News None identified
Adam Flagler Pick-and-Roll Scoring Guard (1.05) 31.1 Medium [1.1] 14.5 2.9 4.6 1.5 54.29 Flagler worked as a scoring guard who could also organize the offense, rather than being confined to catch-and-shoot duties. Later reporting on his move to Sacramento highlighted his shooting reputation, while his Austin season showed the added playmaking responsibility that made him useful as a secondary initiator. Yahoo Sports None identified
Emanuel Miller Physical Two-Way Forward (1.05) 32.7 Medium [1.1] 13.3 6.8 0.9 1.7 52.44 Miller’s game was built around physical two-way forward play, combining strength on the glass with enough offensive skill to stay involved without dominating possessions. His earlier Windy City season established him as a high-minute starter and earned him a continued two-way opportunity with Chicago before his later move through Cleveland and San Antonio. Chicago Tribune via Yahoo Sports None identified
Jayden Nunn Aggressive Lead Guard (1.05) 26.5 Medium [1.1] 13.3 3.5 2.1 1.3 46.66 Nunn played with a scorer’s mentality, attacking from the perimeter while still taking on secondary ballhandling duties. His development in Austin was significant enough to earn a later San Antonio training-camp opportunity, with independent reporting describing him as an impressive G League standout after his rookie season. Sports Illustrated None identified
Carter Bryant Athletic Two-Way Forward (1.05) 29.0 Low [1.0] 15.0 5.0 0.0 2.0 46.20 Bryant’s brief Austin appearance came in a developmental assignment for a first-round rookie whose value extended beyond scoring. His draft profile emphasized his defensive versatility and shot-blocking instincts, traits that fit naturally into a two-way forward role even in a tiny G League sample. The NBA G League None identified
Elfrid Payton Veteran Floor General (1.05) 22.3 Low [1.0] 6.4 5.8 5.7 1.7 41.16 Payton’s defining role was table-setting rather than volume scoring, using his veteran experience to control tempo and generate opportunities for younger teammates. Earlier in the season, he recorded 21 assists in an NBA game, underscoring the advanced passing instincts that remained central to his G League role.

Christian Koloko Rim-Protecting Centerpiece (1.05) 20.7 Low [1.0] 7.3 5.0 0.3 2.6 31.92 Koloko’s value came primarily from rim protection and vertical interior defense rather than offensive creation. His NBA and G League history supported that identity, and he was quickly elevated from Austin to an NBA 10-day contract after returning to the G League environment. The NBA G League None identified
James Banks III Reserve Interior Anchor (1.05) 19.0 Low [1.0] 5.1 6.6 0.6 1.6 29.19 Banks operated as a physical interior reserve whose main responsibilities were screening, rebounding and protecting the paint. His established professional profile has consistently centered on defensive frontcourt work, while Austin’s rotation allowed him to provide that physical presence without requiring offensive touches. The NBA G League None identified
Osayi Osifo Energy Big and Rim Runner (1.05) 18.8 Low [1.0] 5.6 6.1 0.3 1.0 27.30 Osifo’s role was built around energy, rebounding and interior defense rather than perimeter creation. Independent Spurs coverage noted his previous G League production and highlighted his chance to compete for an NBA roster spot, fitting a developmental big whose physical tools could translate through effort plays. Sports Illustrated None identified
Tre King Defensive Forward Specialist (1.0) 14.8 Low [1.0] 7.3 2.5 0.4 1.0 22.40 King filled a low-usage forward role where defensive positioning, physicality and timely scoring mattered more than possession volume. The available independent coverage of his specific Austin season is limited, so the role is best characterized from his rotation usage rather than from a larger narrative campaign. None identified; limited independent season coverage available
Trey McGowens Secondary Ball-Movement Guard (1.0) 15.8 Low [1.0] 6.4 1.9 1.6 1.0 21.80 McGowens served as a secondary guard who could attack gaps and keep the ball moving without becoming the primary initiator. Contemporary Austin coverage is limited, so the clearest season-specific picture comes from his modest-minute rotation role alongside higher-usage creators. None identified; limited independent season coverage available
Jaykwon Walton Spot-Up Wing Reserve (1.0) 18.0 Low [1.0] 3.0 4.0 2.0 1.0 20.00 Walton’s brief appearance points to a low-usage wing assignment, with spacing and secondary playmaking taking precedence over shot creation. Independent reporting on his specific Austin appearance is limited, so there is not enough contemporary material to support a more expansive role description. None identified; limited independent season coverage available
Pierre Crockrell II Pass-First Development Guard (1.0) 5.0 Low [1.0] 0.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 2.00 Crockrell was primarily a developmental floor general, with his responsibility centered on organizing possessions and making simple reads rather than generating his own offense. His selection in the G League draft placed him in Austin specifically as a young guard developing within a professional system, but independent season reporting remains sparse. None identified; limited independent season coverage available
Chase Jeter Frontcourt Depth Big (1.0) 7.0 Low [1.0] 1.3 1.7 0.0 0.3 6.60 Jeter occupied a deep frontcourt role in a very small sample, with his minutes oriented toward interior depth rather than offensive creation. Limited contemporary independent coverage was available for this Austin stint, making a narrow role description more appropriate than assigning responsibilities unsupported by reporting. None identified; limited independent season coverage available
Paul Zilinskas Developmental Stretch Forward (1.0) 4.0 Low [1.0] 0.0 0.5 0.5 0.0 2.00 Zilinskas saw only a brief developmental run, making it difficult to establish a substantial season-specific role from independent reporting. The available sample suggests a reserve forward used primarily for depth and spacing rather than a defined offensive assignment. None identified; limited independent season coverage available

Elfrid Payton Veteran Floor General (1.0) 28.0 Medium (1.1) 8.0 1.0 6.0 2.0 37.40 Payton functioned primarily as a veteran organizer and secondary creator, using his experience to settle the offense rather than dominate possessions. His six assists and two steals fit that role, while his season context was unusual for a former NBA starter: Austin had acquired his returning rights in December, and he had also earned a place on the USA Basketball World Cup qualifying team during the season.
